Make sure master cylinder is full at all times Connect a plastic tube to the bleeder screw other end into a container filled with clean brake fluid Open bleeder screw have assisitant push brake pedal down approx. 3/4 of travel - observe container repeatprocess until no bubbles are seen. Start at longest line (RR-LR)
start with the wheel cylinder furthest away from the master brake cylinder. You will need a self bleeder or you can make your own with some clear rubber hose that will fit snuggly onto bleeder valve located on back of wheel near brake line. Hook-up line put other end in clear glass bottle about two feet out away from car, open up bleeder valve by turning clockwise until you see brake fluid entering clear hose then close the valve. This next step seems odd but it really works. You will need a crutch, yes I said a crutch. Get in car and pump up the brakes until you feel pressure, now get out grab the crutch and place it onto the brake peddle and wedge the top part of crutch under headrest it should be atight fit. Now go back to the rear passengerside bleeder valve and open it up until glass jar has enough fluid to cover end of hose, close valve. Go back and take out crutch, check brake fluid level in reservior and add if nessasary and pump up the brakes again. you should be able to look out side mirror and see bubbles in line or glass jar. Replace crutch, tighten valve screw. The do the back driverside wheel then front passengerside then front drivers side all in the same manner. Repeat proceedures if nessasary to make sure all air has left the lines. Good Luck, Mark

Changed front brakes rotors and calibers on 1998 ford pickup no brakes now what happen?
you will need to bleed your brakes .allways start with the brake the farthest from the master cylinder , you can either gravity bleed them by yourself by loosening the bleeder valve on each wheel for 30 minutes each or have someone pump the brakes for you . have them pump the brakes until they get a partial pedal and hold until you release the wheel bleeder .repeat process 3 or 4 times until fluid is free of air and repeat process on each wheel .if this doesnt work you might need to replace youe master cylinder
